Hi

I would like to know if it's possible to load a local exception handler at a Class level without having to resort to

on exception-class do method-call-expression;

in each method of the Class?

TIA

Hi Kevin

Yes, hence my post.

I guess I'm being hopeful that someone had come up with a technique for defining a class level exception handler without going global.

I have a class for creating/merging word documents and optionally converting them to PDF. I want to totally encapsulate all error handling as well, and only pass back control to the global exception handler for errors I don't want to control.

As the class has quite a few methods, I was hoping I could arm an exception handler in the class constructor (or something similar) and disarm it in the destructor.

Perhaps a peer schema would be the way to go, but as yet I haven't managed to find any doco on how to set them up. (Still looking, but probably in the wrong place...)
